2:00pm to 2:30pm - Trusting Suppliers: A Critical Element in Today’s Enterprise Transformation
A network with trusted and secure suppliers is a network environment wherein systems, users, and devices are all classified as trustworthy and thus have higher access and resource privilege. In such a network, many operators assume trust for all devices and users, with complete access to all the resources within the network system. It has limited security barriers and access controls, which will lower the overall security of the network system. Given the ever-growing need for cybersecurity safeguards, developing a framework for a trusted partner/supplier program is critical for the 21st century, networked and digital enterprise IT team.
